ADAM on Microsoft Vista and Windows Server 2008

ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) is not supported by Microsoft on Vista and Windows Server 2008. If you are configuring Enterprise Server external Security Managers on the Vista platform, a remote Active Directory server should be used instead of ADAM. On Windows Server 2008, Microsoft has provided AD LDS (Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services) as a replacement for ADAM. External Security Managers which use AD LDS can be set up and used in a similar fashion to Security Managers that use ADAM.
